WARNING SAFETY RULES

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

• Read and understand the following safety instructions before use.
• Any modification or updates that are not specified in the instructions manual should not be undertaken.
• The manufacturer is not liable for any injury or damage due to non-compliance with the instructions featured in this manual.
• If there is any issue or uncertainty, please consult a qualified person to handle the installation correctly.

INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION & OTHERS

Arc welding can be dangerous and can cause serious injury or even death. Welding exposes the user to dangerous heat, arc rays, electromagnetic fields, the risk of electric shock, noise, and gas fumes. People wearing pacemakers are advised to consult a doctor before using the welding machine. To protect oneself as well as others, ensure the following safety precautions are taken:

• To protect you from burns and radiation, wear clothing without turn-ups or cuffs. These clothes must be insulating, dry, fireproof, in good condition, and cover the whole body.
• Wear protective gloves that guarantee electrical and thermal insulation.
• Use sufficient welding protective gear for the whole body: hood, gloves, jacket, trousers… (varies depending on the application/operation). Protect the eyes during cleaning operations. Contact lenses are prohibited during use. It may be necessary to install fireproof welding curtains to protect the area against arc rays, weld spatter, and sparks. Inform the people around the working area to never look at the arc or the molten metal, and to wear protective clothes.
• Ensure ear protection is worn by the operator if the work exceeds the authorized noise limit (the same applies to any person in the welding area). Keep hands, hair, and clothes away from moving parts such as fans, and engines. Never remove the safety covers from the cooling unit when the machine is plugged in. The manufacturer is not liable for any injury or damage caused due to non-compliance with the safety precautions.
• Parts that have just been welded will be hot and may cause burns when touched. During maintenance work on the torch or the electrode holder, you should make sure it’s cold enough and wait at least 10 minutes before any intervention. When using a water-cooled torch, make sure that the cooling unit is switched on to avoid any burns that could potentially be caused by the liquid. It is important to secure the working area before leaving it to ensure the protection of the goods and the safety of people.

WELDING FUMES AND GASES

• The fumes, gas, and dust generated by cutting are a potential health hazard. You must ensure adequate ventilation through the installation of air supplies to extract fumes and gases.
• Using an air-fed welding helmet is recommended in case of insufficient ventilation in the workplace.
• Check that the air supply is effective by referring to the recommended safety regulations.
• Caution, welding in small spaces requires surveillance from a safe distance. Welding certain pieces of metal containing lead, cadmium, zinc, mercury or beryllium can be extremely toxic. The user will also need to degrease the workpiece before welding.
• Gas cylinders must be stored in an open or ventilated area. They must be stored vertically and held by a support or trolley to limit the risk of falls. Do not weld in areas where grease or paint are stored.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION RISKS

• Protect the entire welding area. Flammable materials must be moved to a minimum safe distance of 11 meters.
• A fire extinguisher must be readily available near the welding operations.
• Be careful of weld spatter and sparks, even through cracks. If not careful then this could potentially lead to a fire or an explosion.
• Keep people, flammable materials/objects, and containers that are under pressure at a safe distance.
• Welding in closed containers or pipes should be avoided and, if they are opened, they must be emptied of any flammable or explosive material (oil, fuel, gas …).
• Grinding operations should not be carried out close to the power supply or any flammable materials.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• An electric shock could cause serious injuries or potentially even deadly accidents. Do not touch any live part of the machine (inside or outside) when it is plugged in because they are connected to the welding circuit.
• Do not touch the torch or the earth clamp at the same time.
• Always wear dry clothes that are in good condition to be isolated from the welding circuit. Always wear insulated shoes, regardless of the environment in which you work.

PRECAUTION FOR USE

• Never wrap the welding leads around your body.
• Do not use the torch to move the welding power source or wire feeder.
• The torch must be fully uncoiled to prevent overheating.
• Switch off the generator after the torch is cooled before each maintenance and before replacing or control wearing parts.
• Regularly check the condition of the torch. If damaged, the torch must be replaced.

SET UP

TORCH CONNECTION REQUIREMENT

• MIG 15-25-36
  • The generator must be switched off.
  • Insert the torch connector (A) in the female connector (E) and screw the part B. Make sure the torch is tight enough.
  • To remove the torch, unscrew it as shown below.

TT120 – TP120

The generator must be switched off.

1. Open the cover.
2. Unscrew the 4 screws (framed in black).
3. Disconnect the cables and remove the torch.
4. Replace the new lamp.
5. Reconnect in the same way and then screw it back on.

TORCHES EQUIPMENT

• The torch must be fitted with the appropriate consumables, selected based on the application and selected current.
• Using the wrong consumables will result in poor cutting, excessive use of consumables, and possibly prevent the machine from working.

Welding Spatter:

• When welding, the spatter can easily damage the torch and welding equipment. To avoid constraints on the wire feeder, decrease arc stability, or reduce the gas isolation effect, spatter and other depot build-up in the nozzles must be cleaned as soon as necessary.
• Accumulated spatter in the nozzle will cause a short-circuit which could damage the torch over time if not cleaned in due course.
• The use of an antisplatter spray or paste is recommended. To avoid damage to the torch, do not use a cutting tool to clean it.
